PATENTS 2787. ROBERTS, G., JR., WILSON, D. W., AND KEITH, P. C. (M.W. Kellogg Co). Use of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen in the Synthesis of Liquid Hydrocarbons. United States Patent 2,198,553, Apr. 23,1940; appl. filed Apr. 8, 1938, Serial No. 200,930; 7 claims (Cl.23-7). Chem. Abs., vol. 34, 1940 p. 5853. Describes arrangement of apparatus used and a method of producing a synthesis-gas mixture of CO and H2 in a catalytic contact zone, in which a mixture of hydrocarbon gas, steam, and CO2 is converted into synthesis gas in the presence of a catalyst at temperatures 2,200°-1,800° F., simultaneously converting, by the water-gas reaction, a gaseous mixture containing CO and H2 into CO2 and H2 separating the H2 from the CO2 and employing the separated CO2 in the catalytic contact zone. |
